Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My son is diligently saving to purchase a house and currently is taking advantage of the benefits of a TFSA. I have mentioned that he should also consider opening an RRSP to take advantage of their home buyers plan. He can contribute an extra $15k and get an additional 35% tax refund. He has about a 4-5 year time horizon before he needs the money. Is this sound advice? Can you recommend what stocks he should consider?
Thank you

Q: I have emulated the Balanced Equity portfolio as much as possible but the proportions don't max exactly. PBH and KXS are not yet at the 6% level (close) so I did not re-balance. Trust this in line with your thinking.

BTW...April numbers in my three trading accounts are: +1.54, +3.1 and +2.14. And my TFSA, begun in January, 2015, is almost doubled. Thanks for your genius. I tend to think of all three accounts as a single portfolio but iTrade can't combine them.

Q: THANK YOU!

Today May 2nd all of these stocks that I own hit new record highs: CSU, SHOP, KXS, OTEX, L, NFI, AQN, CGX, T, and SIS.

These 3 that I also own came very close to all time highs as well: WSP, BEP.UN, and FTS.

In one day 35% of the stocks I own hit new highs, or came very close. Many of these I would not have bought had it not been for 5i Research.

Again, THANK YOU.

Q: Your Q&A refers to potential dividend and cash flow concerns raised by short sellers. I cannot find any discussion of this issue in your notes so I wonder if you could follow up and indicate whether these concerns have any merit and if so what basis they have. The price is down to a level which otherwise could be an attractive entry point. Thank you.

Q: I have owned HCG since 2000.This is a stock I thought I may never sell, but due to circumstances I have considered selling especially after your advise to get out. At what price would you sell as the stock can go up or down 15% in a day? I do not think putting a market price would by wise. I was considering selling at $8.00 per share but the next day the shares were down to about $6.75. Today they are trading at $7.75.
